Jesus shares a parable about a vineyard owner whose tenants plot to kill his son, the heir, to claim the inheritance for themselves. This story is a metaphor for how the religious leaders of the time were rejecting Jesus, the Son of God, in a bid to maintain their own power and control. The tenants' actions symbolize the broader human tendency to reject divine authority in favor of self-interest. This parable serves as a warning about the dangers of rejecting God's messengers and the ultimate futility of trying to thwart God's plans. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing Jesus as the rightful heir and accepting His authority. The story encourages believers to reflect on their own responses to God's call and to embrace the love and grace offered through Jesus.
But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
